The L. an. Coal Trouble.

The L. q N. railroad has been a
great sufferer for a long while at this
place from the deprcdations of coal
thieves, and 1t has grown to such an
enormous extent as TO be too burden
some to be longer endured, ard the
company is trying to settle on some
plan TO remedy the matter. During
the winter the loss amounts TO an av-
erage of 100 bushels ofcoal each night,
which 1t will be readily seen is no lit
tie loss 10 sustain from actual theft.
The great trouble is there is no rem
edy except to arrest the thieves on a
charge of petit larceny, the conse-
quence of which is short term in the
county Jail, and after being released
they return to their same old trade.
This punishment is not severe enough
TO put stop TO such thieving, which
has been going on at wholesale rates
for years, with reinforcements almost
nightly, and besides 1t runs the city
to heavy expense for the board of
the culprits. There ought TO be rem
edy in the way of confinement athasl
labor in work house, or TO subject
the criminal to hard lashes in accord
ance with the crime. Private dwell
ings and stOre-rooms have alike suf-
fered from petty thefts this winter,
and in most cases they have been COM
United by negro boys too young TO
serve term in the penitentiary, and
hence they are turned loose TO repeat
the same offense at their earliest con-
venience. The cry is there is no law
to cover such cases, and if this is the
state of affairs, our Legislators should
make them for the especial benefit of
such, for a boy who is shrewd enough
TO commit a bold robbery is old
enough to be punished. Many of
these coal thefts are committed by
the younger class, and knowing that
no punishment awaits them, they
make no hesitancy in plying their
vocation.
To countenance such wholesale thiev-
ing gives our city rather bad repu-
tation to the outer world, besides Civ
ing encouragement to other kinds of
thieving. 1t just ought to be stopped
and if there is no remedy one should
be invented, and the railroad proper
ty protected.
The L & N. railroad Is threaten
ing to move ITS depots TO piece of
ground just beyond the southern
branch of Little River, ifprotection Is
not offered their property and employ
es, and no one can blame the COM
pany for feeling sore over the way
they are being imposed upon. The
l.. Il N. has been of invaluable bene-
fit to our city and county, and is in
dispensable as factor in our COM
mercial interests. We hope to see the
wrongs righted at an early date and
the company rest in peace.

The Madison Monkey Story

hokioNcIl
Since the publication of Mulhat-
toms monkey story, Mr.. Jas. b. Parkes,
a modest, retiring, successful farmer,
has received on an average twenty
five letters a day inquiriDg about
the practicability of using cheap mon
key labor. The letter-writing bust
ness has become positive nuisance,
and Mr.. Parkes asks Us TO say:
l. That he has no hemp field, that
he never expects to have hemp field.
2. That he has no brother-in-Iaw in
Shelby county, that he never had a
brother-in-law in Shelby county, and
he never expects to have a brother
in-law in Shelby county.
3. That he has no brother in Africa,
that he never had a brother in Africa,
and that he never expects 10 have a
brother in Africa.
4. That he has no monkeys, that he
never had any monkeys, and he new
expects to have any monkeys.
Correspondents will please observe
the above and give Mr. Parkes rest.
He is an innocent young man and
never did anybody any harm, and he
can't endure this thing much longer.

Prof. Trips Lectures.


Prof. Trip gave Thursday evening
the opening lecture of his course OF
three, in the lecture room ofthe Ninth
street Presbyterian church, to a select
and highly intelligent audience, num-
bering many of our leading citizens.
The lecturer began his discourse by
giving his personal "reminiscences OF
the great Paris Revolution OF
February and June, 1913, which he
had witnessed. This was followed
by vivid and fascinative delineation
of the adventurous career of Prince
Louis Napoleon from his birth to the
imperial throne, with pen sketches OF
other members ofthe Bonaparte fam
lily and a glance at the present politi-
cal situation in France. No mere
sketch can convey an idea of the lee
ture, which must be heard to be APP
preciated.
The second lecture this evening
will be even more interesting and
valuable than the first. 1t confirms
thorough education of tho momen-
tous Eastern question, past and pres
ent, with the latest developments in
Bulgaria and the antagonisms of the
great powers, threatening the peace of
Europe, illustrated by large colored
maps painted expressly for this Sc
ries.
The concluding lecture ON Satur-
day evening will be portrayal of
the i'll starred Mexican expedition,
from its inception to its tragic close
with the life aud career of Maximili-
an and Carlota, and personal REM
iniscences of Carlota. The lecturer
will show and explain by means of a
painted map the route of NJ. de Les
seps' famous Panama Canal, as well
as the two other projected routes by
Lake Nicaragua, and the Isthmus Of
Tehuantepec in Mexico.
This lecture which Judge Temple
pronounces "a gem of rare beauty"
will doubtless attract a large atten-
dance.

Mr.. V. M. Mctcalfe called on us
Tuesday and showed us an artificial
grain of wheat enlarged to 1900
times the natural size, which he had
just received from Paris, and which
he will use in his lectures to show the
farmers the composition of the grain,
and how the grain is fed from the
soil. This will be very interesting
feature in Mr.. Metcalfe's lectures,
and one we think the farmers will
appreciate.
